How Not to Pay
■ ' There has been much discussion of how to finance the
defense program. Equally important is the subject of how
NOT to finance defense.
; : There, is, a .si*oall, uninformed group which still feels that
the easy way out is simply for the government *to issue more
money—to turn the printing presses loose, and to pay as we
go- with crjsp new currency. Tha*t would be the most ruinous
course this country, could take. Tha£ would be direct inflation.
The dollar would buy less and less. Prices, would spiral upward with ever-gathering momentum. And the result would
be.' a collapse similar to that occurring in Germany after the
first world war,, when literally billions of marks; were needed
to buy a loaf of bread. - . "< „ " . . ,':,,.
There are others who still believe the government can
follow its old policy of forcing more and more Federal secy-cities on the banks. But this.flong continued, breeds still an?
otjher kind of inflation—credit inflation—which in the long
Iran can be disastrous tp a country.
i What it alleon-jes &own. to is that that parf of the" defease program which cannot, be financed,out of current government revenue, must be financed, by bnrrpwjng diectly from
the people. That is why the Treasury is issuing special de-
fepse bonds now—and why the nation's banks, without profit
to, themselves, are doing. e.yerythi*Qg. in their, power to_ entourage their purchase.. Ws've *e.ached the point where all
ofj us are going to have to finance defense—and ho one else
can do it for us. '.. :'' .' ' ,'. '," ' - - .
Pouting One's Own Nest
l There is an pld saying1, that; "It's a poor bird that fouls
ite own nest." jt ,is appned to human life, by" saying that
people who speak disparagingly of their own farnilies objt^in
nothing for themselves, and they give a poor ii*np*rjession, of
the conditions under which they have developed. Whatever
ypu may think about your family, better not Speak any ad-'
v^rse thoughts aboait that family in publijc. . .
i It is the satha.^n -re&ard to the- home town. Harsh regard to the home,.tpypn. Harsh" remarks about the place in ;
. which you live are too'-like"the bird that fouls-its own nest.
Ejveh if the town dpes not provide everything you would.Jike,
dpri't make it seem still more lacking by speaking unfavorably of it. Too many people just see the disadvantages of a
bpihmunity, and fail, to. realize-just how small these slight
bjemishes are, compa*red with the fine adyantages which i£
offers. . -;'.,.• - ' '

Secretaries At Meeting
The big shady maple tree that
stood for a number of years at the
corner of Harmon and South Main
street ■ became' just a part of past
history in North Canton Monday
when the village street department
had it removed as an obstruction
to traffic. ' " '
The shade from the tree made
the corner almost totally dark at
night in spite of the street lights.
There has been some talk of
moving the bus stop from the corner Of West Maple and Main to
the corner of Harmon and Main,
in which case the tree was in the
way. .Council approved such action
on the grounds that the present
stop is a traffic hazard, further
action concerning the change must
be made by the bus company.
The corner is a bare looking spot
now—another indication that even
nature must bow to modern progress.

. Shades of a past history of early
Americans can be found in the

relics of a life of pioneers who, in
the midst of hardships, still loved
and cherished'. lovely bits of glassware and exquisitely spun shawls.
In the exhibit room on the second floor of the ' library visitors
_,may find an old " spinning wheel
.which has seen'much service in its
^Riy. Now it serves - only - as a reminder' to a younger and wondering generation of the type of work
that grandmother did in heryouth.
Pinned on the wall are two old
slips of paper, yellowed with age
that bear the signature of President Thomas Jefferson and President John Adams. The papers are
land grants which were signed in
1800 and 1808. • .
Far ■ from the place where he
gained fame as a rebel general is
an original photograph of General
Robert E. Lep, southern hero of

by some Quaker maid on her trips

Arizona Scenes
in Library Exhibit
Artist Catches Desert Moods
in Thirteen Paintings
Thirteen rpainting that have
caught the majestic beauty of the
deserts of Arizona, that portray
the wide reaching spaces in many
of their moods are on display in
the North Canton library at the
present time for a limited showing.
The paintings are the work of
Hiirlstone Fairchild, artist who
first went into the deserts to work
in mining and metallurgical engineering in 1915.
Because he learned to love the
country and spent many hours in
it under all conditions he developed a keen understanding of its
moods which he has so successfully
transferred to canvas.
Particularly .attractive . is his
scene, "Sunset From the Canyon,"
in .which he caught, not only the
glory of the' sky but its reflections
on the rocks and the deeper shadows in''the,canyon.
Those persons who have never
seen the .desert will be interested
in the showers as he has portrayed
them. .Other scenes include Mt.
Ranier at sunrise with the mists on
the elopes of the mountain, sunset
in Chiro valley and moonlight
along a river.
The exhibit is perhaps one of the
most outstanding which has been
in the library for a number of
months, largely because of the absolute beauty- and, understanding
which the artist has put into each
picture.. ' "

Torn hands and burned eyes and
bodies, injured by carelessly handled and exploding fireworks will"
bo a thing of the past in Ohio after the celebration this year as the
state law making it illegal for
individuals to shoot fireworks, goes
into effect on August 1.
Hereafter only organizations
may purchase the fireworks for
public displays. In the past countless children and adults have been
injured seriously and a number of
deaths have resulted from careless
celebrations. As the toll mounted
each year legislators began to notice and to question the destruction of life and property. Several
weeks ago the law was final! y%
passed for which many persons
had long- been woiking—to outlaw fireworks within the entire
state in order to protect the people.
So this year there will be a final
blaze of color in, the sky as roman
candles, sparklers and flashes burn
out their brilliance in private
homes and fire crackers, tiny canons, sky rockets and all the rest
of the aerial family flame out
against the sky or boom in • the
neighbors' ears.
Undoubtedly there will be more
deaths to chalk up, more bad
burns and destroyed eyesight to
record before the day is over but
many persons can thankfully say
"never again" as they read the accounts in the paper.
Only a small amount of caution
on this last day can save much of
the pain and injury that may occur. It is only a small amount of
caution that may keep some youngster from going through the rest
of life blinded by gunpowder or
minus a hand from exploding firecrackers.
That is the thing all people must
consider when thev__go out to shoot
off the last of their display.

How Not to Pay
■ ' There has been much discussion of how to finance the
defense program. Equally important is the subject of how
NOT to finance defense.
; : There, is, a .si*oall, uninformed group which still feels that
the easy way out is simply for the government *to issue more
money—to turn the printing presses loose, and to pay as we
go- with crjsp new currency. Tha*t would be the most ruinous
course this country, could take. Tha£ would be direct inflation.
The dollar would buy less and less. Prices, would spiral upward with ever-gathering momentum. And the result would
be.' a collapse similar to that occurring in Germany after the
first world war,, when literally billions of marks; were needed
to buy a loaf of bread. - . "< „ " . . ,':,,.
There are others who still believe the government can
follow its old policy of forcing more and more Federal secy-cities on the banks. But this.flong continued, breeds still an?
otjher kind of inflation—credit inflation—which in the long
Iran can be disastrous tp a country.
i What it alleon-jes &own. to is that that parf of the" defease program which cannot, be financed,out of current government revenue, must be financed, by bnrrpwjng diectly from
the people. That is why the Treasury is issuing special de-
fepse bonds now—and why the nation's banks, without profit
to, themselves, are doing. e.yerythi*Qg. in their, power to_ entourage their purchase.. Ws've *e.ached the point where all
ofj us are going to have to finance defense—and ho one else
can do it for us. '.. :'' .' ' ,'. '," ' - - .
Pouting One's Own Nest
l There is an pld saying1, that; "It's a poor bird that fouls
ite own nest." jt ,is appned to human life, by" saying that
people who speak disparagingly of their own farnilies objt^in
nothing for themselves, and they give a poor ii*np*rjession, of
the conditions under which they have developed. Whatever
ypu may think about your family, better not Speak any ad-'
v^rse thoughts aboait that family in publijc. . .
i It is the satha.^n -re&ard to the- home town. Harsh regard to the home,.tpypn. Harsh" remarks about the place in ;
. which you live are too'-like"the bird that fouls-its own nest.
Ejveh if the town dpes not provide everything you would.Jike,
dpri't make it seem still more lacking by speaking unfavorably of it. Too many people just see the disadvantages of a
bpihmunity, and fail, to. realize-just how small these slight
bjemishes are, compa*red with the fine adyantages which i£
offers. . -;'.,.• - ' '

Secretaries At Meeting
The big shady maple tree that
stood for a number of years at the
corner of Harmon and South Main
street ■ became' just a part of past
history in North Canton Monday
when the village street department
had it removed as an obstruction
to traffic. ' " '
The shade from the tree made
the corner almost totally dark at
night in spite of the street lights.
There has been some talk of
moving the bus stop from the corner Of West Maple and Main to
the corner of Harmon and Main,
in which case the tree was in the
way. .Council approved such action
on the grounds that the present
stop is a traffic hazard, further
action concerning the change must
be made by the bus company.
The corner is a bare looking spot
now—another indication that even
nature must bow to modern progress.

. Shades of a past history of early
Americans can be found in the
North Canton library this month—
relics of a life of pioneers who, in
the midst of hardships, still loved
and cherished'. lovely bits of glassware and exquisitely spun shawls.
In the exhibit room on the second floor of the ' library visitors
_,may find an old " spinning wheel
.which has seen'much service in its
^Riy. Now it serves - only - as a reminder' to a younger and wondering generation of the type of work
that grandmother did in heryouth.
Pinned on the wall are two old
slips of paper, yellowed with age
that bear the signature of President Thomas Jefferson and President John Adams. The papers are
land grants which were signed in
1800 and 1808. • .

by some Quaker maid on her trips

Arizona Scenes
in Library Exhibit
Artist Catches Desert Moods
in Thirteen Paintings
Thirteen rpainting that have
caught the majestic beauty of the
deserts of Arizona, that portray
the wide reaching spaces in many
of their moods are on display in
the North Canton library at the
present time for a limited showing.
The paintings are the work of
Hiirlstone Fairchild, artist who
first went into the deserts to work
in mining and metallurgical engineering in 1915.
Because he learned to love the
country and spent many hours in
it under all conditions he developed a keen understanding of its
moods which he has so successfully
transferred to canvas.
Particularly .attractive . is his
scene, "Sunset From the Canyon,"
in .which he caught, not only the
glory of the' sky but its reflections
on the rocks and the deeper shadows in''the,canyon.
Those persons who have never
seen the .desert will be interested
in the showers as he has portrayed
them. .Other scenes include Mt.
Ranier at sunrise with the mists on
the elopes of the mountain, sunset
in Chiro valley and moonlight
along a river.
The exhibit is perhaps one of the
most outstanding which has been
in the library for a number of
months, largely because of the absolute beauty- and, understanding
which the artist has put into each
picture.. ' "

Torn hands and burned eyes and
bodies, injured by carelessly handled and exploding fireworks will"
bo a thing of the past in Ohio after the celebration this year as the
state law making it illegal for
individuals to shoot fireworks, goes
into effect on August 1.
Hereafter only organizations
may purchase the fireworks for
public displays. In the past countless children and adults have been
injured seriously and a number of
deaths have resulted from careless
celebrations. As the toll mounted
each year legislators began to notice and to question the destruction of life and property. Several
weeks ago the law was final! y%
passed for which many persons
had long- been woiking—to outlaw fireworks within the entire
state in order to protect the people.
So this year there will be a final
blaze of color in, the sky as roman
candles, sparklers and flashes burn
out their brilliance in private
homes and fire crackers, tiny canons, sky rockets and all the rest
of the aerial family flame out
against the sky or boom in • the
neighbors' ears.
Undoubtedly there will be more
deaths to chalk up, more bad
burns and destroyed eyesight to
record before the day is over but
many persons can thankfully say
"never again" as they read the accounts in the paper.
Only a small amount of caution
on this last day can save much of
the pain and injury that may occur. It is only a small amount of
caution that may keep some youngster from going through the rest
of life blinded by gunpowder or
minus a hand from exploding firecrackers.
That is the thing all people must
consider when thev__go out to shoot
off the last of their display.
